    Spicy bbq and ravioli pizzas
    Nava L.

    Stopped by after a movie and it was great! The staff was really nice and gave some recommendations cause I was indecisive. The pizza comes out quickly and tastes pretty fresh. I think the spicy bbq had a nice kick and usually I'm not into pasta on pizza but I really liked the ravioli pizza! The cheese on the inside was really creamy and the vodka sauce on the pizza was great! Id definitely come back!

    Excellent. Ordered takeout. Got half Mac and cheese, half florentine or pesto, I can't remember. All I remember is that it was tasty. We ordered the 18inch for two people. If you can't tell, we aren't good at understanding how big a pizza that is. But! It was so good we finished it in two meals and it still tasted good reheated. Would order from here again. With prices going up, Ian's has become less expensive than some other pizza places around Milwaukee downtown area

    I rarely post reviews let alone negative but I felt this was necessary because if I owned this place I'd want to know. We were traveling for a volleyball tournament and wanted to try pizza and this place had great reviews. Maybe it would have been good had they done what I asked

    Creative and Innovative Pizzas! Ian's really hit a home run on the flavors. Mac & Cheese Pizza Chicken Alfredo Pasta Pizza Ravioli Pasta Pizza Buffalo Chicken Pizza Chef's Kiss!!! Super appreciate my union members.

    The best! Always a slam dunk, homerun, and delicious every time!!! Unquestionably the best pizza in Milwaukee, with incredible flavors, mixes of robust melty cheese varieties, and veggies & bacon & chicken out the wazoo! Go now. Enjoy! Peace and pizza and love.

    Quick and friendly service! We ordered four different slices to go. We had a special Nashville pickle cauliflower, buffalo chicken, penne Alfredo, and of course, Maui Wowie.

    Online it says open. Payed $25 to uber there and they are closed by 11:20. Had to pay another $20 to get to the next nearest location. They do this often what a joke.

    (From September 2021) Stumbled in here after bar hopping it on MLK BLVD and found this spot to be packed with people looking for pizza. I found some good slices including the Mac & cheese pizza which is a favorite and a satisfying bite for the drink munchies. It must've been fresh out of the oven since it tasted like an actual pizza and not some room-temp slice sitting out in the box overnight like some premade pizzas can taste. The line moves fairly quickly especially on a Friday night. Not to mention that it's easy to access as it's just across the street.

    I generally love Ian's, as it's the perfect place to go as you're wrapping up a late night. That being said, I just had a very uncomfortable experience there. There was another customer who was a non-verbal individual who clearly needed some assistance in ordering. I tried to communicate with him to help him, but it was pretty difficult. Instead of being patient and understanding, the woman at the register rudely yelled at him "you're not getting anymore pizza!" When he had zero slices. Everyone was treating this man like he was some random drunk person causing a problem, which he was not. They were treating a lot of customers pretty poorly. I think it's important to note when you have a restaurant on water street open past midnight, you will have some intoxicated customers. That is not an excuse to be rude to people unless they are causing a legitimate problem. And even then you should still be polite and there are plenty of authorities outside should a problem arise.

    I had ordered here once before and really enjoyed it. The slices are huge so no need for a full pizza for just two people. I got the Mac and cheese pizza and enjoyed it. It's definitely not the best pizza in the world but it's pretty good. They change up the speciality pizza every week. They had a jambalaya pizza at the beginning of March so if you want to try something interesting this is the place. The staff was very nice and we were in and out in 5 minutes. On a weekend though it may be busier because it's right around the corner from the bars. Upstairs they had a small seating section with arcade games. Overall, not a bad place for a quick bite.

    Absolutely LOVE Ian's! Besides the cool specialty slices (like the classic mac & cheese) they're known for, this location also had a nice dining area upstairs with games lining the walls. My personal favorite is the baked penne pizza, but they have a ton of great slices and a variety of different options (including vegetarian & vegan choices). If you haven't been, highly recommend you check it out!

    Slices!

The staff were great - they were attentive, friendly, and overall wonderful to work with. We were able to customize our floor plan with different tables and chairs that fit our vision. The decorations and colors matched perfectly with my theme (Love is in Bloom)! They also provided a projector and screen that we used for the games. My sister made a Spotify playlist specifically for this day that they played as well! My sister and I toured the venue about a year in advance and immediately booked it; I'm so glad we did because there were multiple inquiries later on which goes to show how many people truly want their special event held here. The owner, Ahidé, was such a dream to work with during the process. She was informative, kind, and always made sure we got what we needed throughout. We ordered the brunch menu which included eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, lemon ricotta french toast, pastries, and a small parfait bar. The food was seriously 10000/10! My guests gave so many compliments on the food, the drinks, the decor, and everything in between. Ahidé even went the extra mile to customize the bar and brunch signs that matched my theme! She made sure to check on us right after the food was served and was available if we needed anything at all. Every little detail was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you SO much Tauro Cocina for making my bridal shower a dream come true

    The food was great the first time I went. Not sure why it felt a little underwhelming when I went…read morethe second time maybe it was just a weird day. The risotto's are really good! Appetizers can be a little more descriptive because the bruschetta was not the regular style so definitely ask before ordering. Ambience was really nice and the service is great as well. I would recommend this place for its unique taste.

The service was outstanding. He recommended some great options. My colleague and I ended up splitting the burrata e pomodorini salad, Doppia Calabrese pizza, and for dessert, Tartufo Gelato. The burrata e pomodorini was so fresh and seasoned beautifully. The Doppia Calabrese pizza was hot and fresh. The crust was chewy and crisp. The hot honey drizzle on the pizza was the icing on the cake, or pizza! Delicious! The Tartufo Gelato to end the meal was fantastic. It was creamy, rich and the hazelnuts gave it the crunchy texture. The ambience was pleasing. Having seats by the pizza bar and watching the magic happen was very entertaining. We will definitely be back in May when we come back for a conference. We can't wait! I would 100% recommend San Giorgio Pizzeria to everyone. Next time I go, I want to try the pasta.
